#91251 Munchee (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I've been trying to dial my bike in since changing to my K&N and Barrons jet kit. When I give a quick jerk on the throttle I get a poof of air..kind of a sputter I guess. It doesn't do it all of the time probably 80% though. Whats that mean? 170 main 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 out on pms fourth groove down with spacers and washers as stock   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #91252 smhowse (User) NOPE, it's a Roadstar! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1177 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   It means that Roadies don't like to be "blipped" Don't blip the throttle and your fine. Totally normal Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91253 Munchee (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The bike has died on me once when I applied throttle normally and I 'bout dropped it because I was in the middle of a u-turn. I didn't have this issue b4.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #91254 cman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 37 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yuuup....i have noticed that when i use 94 octane it does it lessjust think of it as a hickup!!   Logged     If it aint broke...Tear it apart and find out why!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91258 Munchee (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   maybe I'll sneak up on the bike and scare it.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1177 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I wouldn't recommend any fuel but 87 as the manual recommends If your Roadie was not warmed up that could happen. Anytime you quickly twist the throttle it could do exactly what you are describing. I think your settings are ok. Hope that helps Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91265 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 11835 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   You could mess with the acell screw some and see if it helps. My bike does it until it's all warmed up. And don't blip.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #91270 smhowse (User) NOPE, it's a Roadstar! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1177 Re:whats that mean? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Good Point Musky!! I forgot I changed mine and put the nut behind the bolt and that helped a lot! It reduces how much fuel gets sprayed into the carb when you twist the throttle. Take your air cleaner off and twist the throttle (when bike is off!) and you will see a squirt of fuel go into the carb adjust the screw until it squirts much less fuel than stock. I ended up moving the nut to the back side of the bolt to get more adjustment. Just don't twist the throttle too much when its off or you will flood it and it won't start trust me Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
